Finally, a breakthrough.

Or so I thought...

So it has been almost a year since my last film/TV related job, which was filming an annual fashion show. This time around, I was to film for a film festival in Wales. "Finally!" I thought, the chance to film for a company that didn't contact me through education institutions. This was going to be a great way to get my name out there. The only thing I didn't bargain on however, was me editing the footage. I was hoping for somebody to take the footage from me and edit it. I was wrong. 

Now I can edit, and I edit my own little videos all the time, but editing a video for a company with no proper direction was very frustrating to say the least. It was very stressful uploading a video to Youtube, (which took a couple of hours) and then being told to change things, then uploading it again and once again being told to change things. I was being told two different things. Was this the last time I had to 'correct' the video? No. I had to do it again, and once I read the two different forms of feedback from two different people and made the desired changes, the video was exactly the same as it was in the first place. So obviously, this made me want to throw my computer out of my window onto the concrete below.

As I write this, I am still waiting on an email I sent six hours ago regarding the video content. I don't know if they've decided to stick with the original video, or to just never contact me again.

I'm going to change my business cards to 'Sound recordist and camera operator only. NO EDITING WHAT SO EVER'.

Later.
